Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Consistant, Caring, and Commited
It has been several years since I chose Dr. Martin as my Primary Doctor. And I have never regretted that decision. I have regular check-ups, and when necessary, she has me schedule follow-ups for new health concerns that sometimes arise.I completely trust her for my healthcare. She definitely knows what she is doing; so when she says please pick up a certain product at the store for this problem, I go to the store and get that product because I know it will help me. What I like most about Dr. Martin is her consistancy. When I first chose her, I learned that she was not one to prescribe a prescription needlessly. She made sure that I was really in need of it before prescribing it. Because of this level of care, I am not only receiving good care. I am also more aware of what each medicine is for. Thank your Dr. Martin for the care you have given me.

She has no people skills
She was very condescending and nasty. When I told her that I had done research on my issues (since I couldn't be seen right away) and my findings she immediately got angry and snapped at me telling me she was the Dr, and not I. Was clearly agitated with me not wanting a flu and covid vaccine, and she gave me incorrect info (have confirmed with several other doctors). Tried 3 times to get a script that her office said was called in, and finally had to go back to the office and physically get it and drop it off myself. She also prescribed a med that they don't even make anymore, and I couldn't get it anyway. This was the worst interaction I have ever had with a provider.

Unsure at the moment
My first impression of Dr. Martin wasn't great. I found her scattered, rude & a bit judgy. Thank God her Physicians Asst did most of the appointment. I wasn't planning on returning. Then I had to return & wasn't looking forward to it. At the 2nd appt she was kind & I felt heard. I left that appt thinking perhaps she had a mean twin that saw me the first time! Even her appearance between the first & second appt was night & day. I was trying to hold out judgement after the first appt; everyone has bad days & I don't know what she is personally dealing with. I have an illness that can have me appearing grand one day & like a drowned rat the next - so I don't like to judge. Doctors are humans after all & who knows how these last 2 years have affected her. After my 2nd appt, I was left feeling happy @ the care I received but confused @ who she really is. The third appt will tell me what I need to know.

Arrogant, rude, assumptive doctor.
We had just moved to the area and I needed a doctor for different reasons. I specifically was looking for a woman doctor thinking they are usually more sympathetic and kind. Maybe in my past, but certainly not with this woman. Dr Martin seems so knowledgeable! But the way she judged me and made snide comments about my past, my current life and just things that she really didn’t need to be commenting about, left me in shock. I did get the referrals I needed because I bucked up and went back and asked for them and follow through. If you have a hard heart, or at the very least, or someone who is totally indifferent to belittling, snide, judgmental and just mean comments from someone you’ve just totally opened up to, then you’ll be fine with this doctor. Otherwise, nope, no thank you.

COVID Vaccine & Education
About a year ago I went into Dr Martin for something simple. She ended up telling me I was going to be the reason more people died from COVID because I refused to get the vaccine. I went into my opinions, which included the FACT that the vaccines don't stop people from getting the virus. She ARGUED with me, staying the vaccine absolutely works and it's showing in the numbers because less people were getting the virus. She got so angry at me and so unprofessional I walked out and said I won't have my doctor telling me I'm the cause of others' death! She has the worst bedside manner and tries to intimidate her patients and employees. Downright unprofessional. Dr. Martin how do you feel now that the government, CDC, drug makers and the anointed one FAUCI all admit it will not stop you from contracting the virus??? It's a shame you have such poor bedside manor because you really are a good physician.

Receiptionist ignored me initially. No big deal, maybe she was just having a bad day. I have seen Dr. Martin a couple of times, and have tolerated her bluntness because she seemed to be a good physician, and I still believe that she is. Today she took it to another level, and I will never go back. Her poor bedside manor is shockingly disrespectful and out of line! Thankfully for myself and others, there are plenty of good Doctors in St. Mary's to choose from!

Dr. Martin is an exceptional physician. If you are looking for a doctor that will genuinely care about you and your health, look no further. Dr. Martin will take the time to tell you what you need to hear about your health and offer her professional advice on how to be proactive in living a healthier lifestyle. Her staff is very professional, helpful and polite as well. I am so grateful to have found such an experienced, knowledgeable and caring doctor. I trust her completely with my health and well being. I highly recommend her for you as well.

My family and I just moved here from Richmond. We contacted this office for an appointment. Dr. Martin never us or sat down with us. She has refused to take over our medication refills and is not personable. She talked down to the nurse practitioner several time as well as other staff. We have been there twice and have not had anytime with her.

I find Dr. Martin to be very thorough and professional with a wide breadth and depth of medical knowledge. And she seems to genuinely care about her patients. She tends to be no nonsense, but that's a very good trait in a doctor. Her staff is also very professional and always makes me feel very comfortable. If you have an issue that needs immediate attention they always fit you in the same day and never make you feel rushed even in that event.
